Ice In River
Tags: Harsens Island, Harsen's Island Michigan,
From the Port Huron Times Herald:
Ice in the St. Clair River has halted one ferry service and slowed down another.
The Walpole-Algonac Ferry Line is closed today because of heavy ice.
It’s slow going between Harsens Island and Clay Township today, according to a recording at Champion’s Auto Ferry. Trips are being made about every 30 minutes.
The Bluewater Ferry is making trips across the river between Sombra, Ontario and Marine City about every 15 minutes, according to a recording at the business.

FERRY CLOSING TOMORROW, 2/10/10
Just received word from Algonac Community Schools that the ferry will close tomorrow at 10 AM. Buses will pick up students on the island in the morning, but there is no guarantee the ferry will open in time for them to be bused home.
Clay Township has also received the news regarding the ferry closing and at this time there is no ETA on when it will open again. Plan accordingly.
Will post news as it is received.

Cutter On The Way????
Many of you have heard the news reports saying the coast guard will be sending a cutter to move ice down the North Channel to break the ice bridge. There is flooding in Marine City and the water level on our side of the ice bridge is down about 4 feet. David Bryson has been in touch with the coast guard and asked them to please hold off because if the ice bridge is broken the ferry will have to close.
Clay Township has been notified by Mr. Bryson of the impending problem and asked that supervisor, Jay DeBoyer, call the coast guard to help prevent a shut down. Clay Townhip fire chief, Daryl DuPage, is also calling the coast guard on the island's behalf.
As soon as there is any news, one way or another, it will be posted.

Ferry Clear - No Problems Expected
All is well at Champion's Auto Ferry to Harsen's Island.
They have a good, clear path through the ice in the North Channel, and expect no problems since the weather is below freezing with bitter cold nights.

Harsen's Island Fire Update - From PHTH
From the PHTH this morning....great reporting Stephen, thanks for following up!
Police seek leads in Harsens Island fire
Port Huron Times Herald
By STEPHEN TAIT
2/3/2010 6:43am
HARSENS ISLAND -- All that remains of 80 to 100 acres of wetland weeds here is charred black stalks -- and a looming question.
A fire burned a huge swath of wetlands Monday, a blaze that Fire Chief Daryl DuPage said was set deliberately.
The fire was ignited during a controlled burn by state's Department of Natural Resources and Environment. DuPage said wind direction and other factors made it clear the second blaze was not related to the controlled burn.
"It was definitely set," DuPage said. "Now, who did it, we don't know yet."
DuPage said Clay Township police will continue the investigation, but "we have no leads right now."
The fire started about 5:30 p.m. off M-154 at Green Drive and La Croix Road. DuPage said firefighters battled the blaze for about three hours.
At the site of the fire, two utility poles and a utility box were damaged. A hunting blind also was destroyed -- the walls burned away with only a chair left in an otherwise empty landscape.
DuPage said damaged wires accounted for the only property damage. There were no injuries.
Fire departments from New Baltimore, Algonac, Marine City, St. Clair and Lenox and Ira townships assisted in putting out the blaze.
DuPage said the DNR uses the controlled burns to kill phragmites, an invasive weed species that displaces native plant life.
The phragmites in the area of the burn are about 12 feet tall. The fire destroyed huge portions of the weed, but small islands of the plant poked up from the scorched wetlands floor in various areas.
DuPage said the fire burned quickly.
"When you get those phragmites going, they create their own wind because they burn so hot," he said.
Mitchell Weaver, 15, lives on Green Road on Harsens Island across the street from where the fire burned out of control.
"I thought it was shocking how much it actually burned," he said. "It burned like four times as much as it normally does."
But Mitchell said he wasn't scared about the fire because "they usually burn the marsh anyway."
"They were pretty big size," he added.

DNR NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE
Clay Township's fire chief, Daryl DuPage, would like the residents of the island to know that
the DNR was NOT responsible for the out of control wildfire on Monday. An investigation has shown that the fire could not have started from the DNR's controlled burn. It isn't logistically possible.
Also, the Clay Township Police are looking for any possible leads to the fire as they believe it was set intentionally. If anyone has seen or heard something of a suspicious nature they should contact Chief Donald Drake directly by phone, 794-9381, or e-mail, chiefdrake@claytownship.org.

FYI--Construction On Gull Island
Clay Township's police chief would like everyone to be aware of the following information he has received from the Border Patrol:
There will be construction activity on Gull Island in the near future. Workers will be active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There will be lights, noise, etc., throughout the night. There will also be a barge next to the island. Activity should also be expected near the Old Club on Harsens Island.
The tentative dates of work on the site will be from 2/13/2010 until 2/23/2010. These dates may be subject to change, due to weather and other issues.

Fire Too Close To Home
This picture from the Port Huron Times Herald story is very disturbing to me. My home is on the other side of this fire wall, and I was watching it get closer and closer as I was posting last night.
At one point we were trying to figure out how we were going to get 3 people, 2 big dogs and 5 cats into Steve's little Ford Ranger (of course Shannon was on the mainland with the huge Suburban) when suddenly the fire was out
Thank you - Thank you to all the firefighters from all the different locations who came here to help put out this blaze, as well as all others who came to help
Hearing today that this was the second fire, deliberately set, was very disturbing to all of us on Harsen's Island.
Who on earth would want to risk our lives and those of our family, friends and pets, let alone potentially destroy our homes and property....I hope they catch this coward(s) and give 'em the max!
Anyone with information about the second fire, please contact Clay Township Police 810-794-9381.
Even if you think your information is not important, when added to other bits and pieces of information it can add up to finding this person(s) and getting justice.

Harsen's Island Ferry Shut Down Imminent
The word from the ferry is that there is quite a lot of shore ice mixed with heavy ice coming down at the ferry. The ice will inevitably jam later tonight (Friday), in the wee hours tonight, or early tomorrow (Saturday).
Those of you whom have been through this before, know the routine: shut down the ferry, allow the ice to set up, which won't take too long with the very cold temperatures expected, wait a few hours, then start cutting a path.
(Thanks to Gail Zawada for the phone call with the rumored information which I quickly checked out with the powers that be and found it was indeed true:)

Harsen's Island Ferry Remains Shut Down Due To Ice
Well the Coast Guard did not make it back to he ferry today, but I'm told they will be back in the morning to work the ice around the ferry and hopefully free us all!
Once the ice is cleared out at the Harsen's island ferry, normal operations will resume.

Harsens island Ferry Remains Closed Today
I just got back from the ferry where David Bryson, Noel Vigar, Brian Sears and I watched the ice moving slower and slower until it stopped completely.
Brian says there is about 125 yards of ice that needs to pass the ferry before we have open water.
David says he will not be running until there is open water at the ferry because the ice that is there is too thick to run through. He also stated that the Coast Guard had been there and are now gone to another location, but should be back later...when? WHO KNOWS!
In the meantime...the airboat is running until 7pm tonight as usual.

The Coast Guard is working the ice downriver from the ferry.
The ice at Algonac was solid to the boat launch near dairy queen and clear above that area, but it is now clear to The Pointe, so the USCG efforts are producing results.
I'm going to take a ride and see for myself....I'll post back here on my return.
